HISTORY
In the early nineteenth century, when the two residences were restored by the celebrated dancer Maria Taglioni, who also owned the prestigious Ca’ d’Oro in Venice on Canal Grande. This famous artist, along with Bellini, Rossini, Franz Lizst, Ricordi, Giuditta Pasta and other musicians of her time, was drawn to the Lake Como, and Blevio in particular, by the lake\'s romantic atmosphere and great beauty.
Today, the lake is not only a resort for exclusive artists ranging from the world of La Scala to the rising presence of the world of the movie industry (yesterday Luchino Visconti, today Stephen Spielberg and George Clooney), but it is also home to many of Italy's and Europe's leading families. In addition all of the numerous Lake Como tourism resources that range from historical villas (Villa Carlotta, Balbianello, Villa Melzi, Rockefeller Foundation) and gardens visits, to the mountain treking from the Brunate or Pognana funiculars are available. The neighboring small towns of Lugano, Varese and Bergamo can offer you an enchanted visit to some of the finest classical and contemporary art museums of this part of the world. (Accademia Carrara, Panza di Biumo collection, fondazione Thyssen-Bornemisza, etc.)
